This performance of Felix Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony, featuring Tabea Zimmermann, is a part of our recently released full-length, on-demand video concert available for free viewing at content.thespco.org/music/concert-library/concert/mendelssohns-scottish-symphony-with-tabea-zimmermann
We welcomed world-renowned violist and newest Artistic Partner Tabea Zimmermann back for a concert rich in history once forgotten. Starting with Fanny Mendelssohn’s Overture in C, which the composer wrote when she was about 25 years old, only for the work to be forgotten for over 150 years. Following the overture, Zimmermann performed as soloist in Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s Potpourri (mit Fantasie), another work that languished in obscurity until recently. Felix Mendelssohn’s Scottish Symphony, inspired by the ruins of Holyrood Abbey in Edinburgh, closed the concert.
